Quotes for New England Weather (www.neweather.com):
"As we all know New England Weather is
notoriously unpredictible and so is the folk band with that name.
But it's unpredictible only in its repertoire; they often surprise
you. But when it comes to the quality of their rollicking
performances, they are not the least bit unpredictible... with them
it's always fair weather." - Richard Walton,
Stone Soup Coffeehouse (www.soup.org)
"The Inuits have a multitude of words to
describe snow. With a language that rich, perhaps my "good mornings"
after Salon Sundays could convey what I am feeling. ... "a little
slice of Heaven." And I am both deliciously satiated and always
yearning for more. New England Weather exemplifies that. The
interaction of these people who are so dear to each other, and so
steeped in each others music produces a result so beautiful it takes
your breath away. Each one brings a unique, unmistakable identity
and the rest pay homage with their artful blend of rythmns and
harmonies. You almost hated to applaud at the end of a song because
you wanted to sit in the afterglow just a moment
Wasn't it
Maaavelous?!" - mfdaisy, Salon Sunday (www.salonsunday.com)
"First of all I would like to thank ... New
England Weather for a terrific show last Friday. If you have
never heard these guys, you really owe it to yourself to track
[them] down ... and let them astound your world. Doing originals
from as far back as 1400 years ago, [they] take you on a fascinating
musical journey covering everything from a mining disaster to a
vegetarian killer whale. It is enjoyable, to say the least and is
not fattening, however it is habit forming." - Steve
Howard, Lyrics & Latte's (www.myspace.com/accidentalsmusic)
"New England Weather is just as
described. Able to change in an instant, due to the stellar
individual qualities of its members. You don't get one sound. You
get old and new original folk, blues and bluegrass - all delivered
with an energy that will stand you up." - Susan Irene
Master, Musician and Concert Producer
"New England Weather is a group of five
talented musicians who are obviously friends as well as music
partners. They share a diversity of musical styles from folk music
including gospel and world music, to well-crafted original
compositions. They perform on a variety of instruments and are known
for their fine harmony singing. They have an informal style which
immediately makes the audience very comfortable and eager to sing
along. Though they function beautifully as a group, each member
comes through as an individual, well supported by the others. I look
forward to hearing more of their music!" - Ellen F.
Schmidt, Musician and Producer (www.ellenschmidt.com)
